I liked everything about the hostel. It was very good and professionally organized. The rooms were not overcrowded, and I did not have to wait for the bathroom (considering the fact that it is shared between 2 rooms with a capacity of 6-8 people each). They give you a card that you use to enter 1) the building, 2) the hall where the rooms are, and 3) the room itself (so pay attention not to lose that card). The hostel also has a very big kitchen in the basement which is full of kitchen stuff. There are papers to write down your name so you can mark your food and ingredients. There is a Lidl Discount Store within a 15-minute walk where you can buy very affordable produce and everything you need. The beds, pillows, bedding, and covers were all new, and I slept really comfortably. I also loved the neighborhood, the location was good, just 20 minutes away from the popular party zone by foot and 5 minutes away from a bus stop that takes you directly to the city center.

As a transgender traveler I get incredibly anxious about staying at hostels, but this hostel is very inclusive and a safe place to be. I recommend it for queer people who may have anxieties about where to stay when traveling.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Hostel is in a great location, easy to go around Hamburg with some cool bars, cafés and restaurants around it. Staff was lovely and helpful. Showers were good, but the showerhead didn't have a high holder attached to the wall, so I had to hold it up to be able to wash my hair. Kitchen is well equipped.

    The location was perfect. Rooms and beds were clean. Moreover, I didn't hear even a single squeak from the bunk bed. Breakfast was extraordinary. I have never seen so many varieties for breakfast in any youth hostel before. There were sockets even in the lockers. No need for padlock. There was combination on lockers. No deposite for the key cards. Definetely everything was so perfect.

    This place is good for a few nights if you are on a budget. Despite being a youth hostel, it is clean. Regarding noise, it really depends on the other guests you will be with. For me, it was a bit loud late in the evening over the weekend, but ther other days were fine. It is a 10-minutes-walk away from a U-Bahn station from which you can reach the city center in about half an hour. All in all, my stay was pleasant.
